#141 Sandcastles Crochet Dishcloth – Maggie Weldon Maggies Crochet

The design for this dishcloth came from a skirt in Melissa Leapman’s Cool Crochet Book. I just love this stitch and the monotone colors. It is so very easy to design a dishcloth. All you need is a book of motifs or stitches. The width is about 8-9 inches which is about 25-30 stitches in worsted weight yarn. If you do a motif try to modify it and add a few unique rounds. Once you do one you’ll see it’s rather fun! This is day # 141! There are 224 days of the year left. We still need help with designs.Follow me onto dishcloth #142 and the rest of the story…
